What you need at the counter

Romanian criminal record certificate online, free: what you need

What to bring

  • For the electronic version: a validated account on hub.mai.gov.ro
  • For the paper version: your ID in original, valid

This list covers the usual case. The exact list for your situation is on the official page.

How long it takes

Electronically it is issued in about a minute, with no trip to a counter. On paper: on the spot or within 3 working days.

What it costs

Free in electronic format.

Worth knowing

The certificate is valid for 6 months from the date it is issued. Request it close to the moment you actually need to hand it in, not months ahead.
